Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Trim bottom 1 inch from asparagus and discard. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then cut lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Cook linguine
2
  • To the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1 cup (2 cups) pasta water. Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
Cook asparagus
3
  • Once linguine has been cooking for 5 min, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Swirl pan until butter melts. Add asparagus and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until asparagus is tender-crisp and garlic is fragrant.
Make sauce
4
  • Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over asparagus. Stir to coat. Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) reserved pasta water and pesto. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often until sauce is simmering.
  • To the pan with asparagus, add linguine, lemon zest, spinach, half the Parmesan and half the chili flakes. (NOTE: If you like things spicy, add more chili flakes!) Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often until linguine is coated and spinach wilts.
Finish and serve
5
  • Divide asparagus and lemon linguine between bowls.
  • Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan over top. Squeeze a lemon wedge and sprinkle any remaining chili flakes over top.
